Corruption

Free market capitalism has done more to bring people out of poverty than any form of government but it has an enemy called corruption and this was demonstrated in the recent events surrounded the Clinton Foundation. While most charitable organizations average 25% for expenses the Clinton group uses 75% for expenses. These costs include salaries, travel and other business expenses. The Clintons left office in 2000 saying they were broke and by 2016 they were worth 100 million dollars. Email hackers revealed enough information to warrant an investigation but in spite of that the Republican controlled house and senate did not look into the matter. It is speculated by certain government watchdog groups that congress failed to investigate because they feared it would lead to other similar schemes. Washington is rife with influence peddling and the fallout could involve many other groups including Republicans. Right now the FBI is investigating the Clinton Foundation and both parties are worried. This tells me that this probe will not lead anywhere.
